15. When the new ooring meets a threshold or a doorway, we recommend undercutting the door jamb. To secure the right cut, turn a plank
upside down and place it on the oor up to the door frame. Then place a reciprocating saw at against the plank and simply cut through
the frame. Remove the cut-out piece and vacuum away debris. Slide plank under pre-cut door frame. Door frame should be cut so that a
¼" (6 mm) gap is located from the edge of the plank under the casing to the wall.
16. Tap the long side joint closed rst, then tap the end joint closed.

17. Allow ¼" (6 mm) expansion space around pipes or other xed objects.
18. In rows where there is a pipe, make sure the pipe falls exactly in line with the short side of two planks. Select a drill bit with the same diameter
as the pipe plus 1/2" (13 mm). Click the planks together on the short side and drill a hole centered on the joint between the two planks.
Then install the planks.
19. For a double pipe, drill a hole equivalent to the diameter of the pipe plus ½" (13 mm) at each of the marked points. If located on the long side
of the plank, make a 45º cut from each hole to the edge of the plank. Then, using an appropriate glue along the cut edges of the piece you
cut out, glue the piece in place. Be sure no glue comes between the cut-out piece and the sub oor.
